Another round of improvements is coming to our Next channel. This build includes Chromium updated to version 37.0.2062.94 and a couple of bug fixes. Warnings for unresponsive plugins were often mentioned in the comments as a source of annoyance in the previous build, so we changed the timing and now they should appear less frequently. Let us know in the comments if it works better now.

Read the changelogs! Its a log of mostly everything we work on that is published with every release.

Hey, Opera team!
Is there any chance to reintroduce right-click+mousescroll for tab switching together with the tab list as in the old Opera?

Stanislav Stratil

Will there be any improvements to tab preview feature? Or is it already “finished”?
Because i dont like the current state of it in dev version.

Leonardo Gomes

What exactly you don’t like in tab preview?
Just saying that you don’t like something is kinda useless, it’s always better to explain the reasons for which you don’t like it

Stanislav Stratil

Im not using it. I just tryed how it works, and it just didnt feel right compared to tab peek from v12… It is slow and I think it will be just annoying to have it turned on.
And I guess it was already said on this blog what is wrong with this “preview”. Im just asking, if there are any plans for improvements…

Jonathan Aanesen

It’s probably not completely 200% finished, but I don’t think they will work a lot more on it either as bookmarks are in the main focus at the moment. But minor improvements are made in every little update 🙂

Hi Daniel, problem is with my laptop (15.6 inch full hd), everything looks bigger now, text is good quality, but graphics (images etc) looks like low quality (not too much, but doesnt looks pleasent to eye), i need to zoom out to have nice view (like in 023 or older). Dpi is set to 125% in windows settings, i use w7

I commented about this with the last build of Next, giving specifics on how much more screen space Next is taking up vs. 12.17 on the same pages (Windows 8 set to 115% dpi).

sometimes it occurs when you close the browser, and processes remain and load the processor for 100%. It is necessary to kill processes of opera.exe or compulsorily to reboot

SQL

I’ve faced this issue twice too. My problem was that i couldn’t kill the opera.exe*32 processes. Tried forcing them as well as i could but one always stayed open. Had to restart the whole computer to fix it.

Stash managing, also a missing feature, when is it coming?

tdudziec

We are going to abandon stash soon . It will be transformed into bookmarks in near future

Fhury

any chance of keeping the way of displaying bookmarks like stash does as an (display) option?

Nick Schaedel

Could it not be easily repurposed as a ‘reading list’ for high turnover saving of links? You could do something like Safari and have an infinite scroll that opens the next link at the bottom of the previous article.

Piotr Karol Marek Żółtowski

WTF?

Howard Dean

…well that sucks I’m glad majority got their damn bookmarks but anyway making it option to keep stash intact?, really loved the visual slider for for certain pages

plague

I really don’t see why you can’t have both?
Unsorted bookmarks = Stash.
Just call that bookmark section Stash, hide it from the Bookmarks manager and keep the Stash page. Done.

What’s really annoying about Stash becoming “unsorted bookmarks” is that the Bookmarks submenu will get very cluttered very fast with all those unsorted bookmarks.
Also, the viewing settings of the Stash page were quite good and are nowhere to be found in the Bookmarks manager.

So again, keep both. Unsorted bookmarks would be Stash and would be hidden from the Bookmarks manager and Bookmarks submenu and only be accessible through the Stash page.
When saving a Bookmark, you choose if it goes into the Stash/Unsorted bookmarks, or if it goes into a regular Bookmark folder.

It’s a simple solution that would make everyone happy and would look and work well.

Edit:
By the way. You first introduce Stash, make a very big deal about it and at the same time make a big deal about how unimportant Bookmarks are.
Then you introduce Bookmarks and backtrack completely, downplaying Stash entirely and all of a sudden Bookmarks are king.
That’s not a good way to promote your product.

Yet Another Opera Lover

Just as I’m getting a Chromebook, just as I’m switching to Chrome as my main browser, suddenly Opera has EVERYTHING I could want.

Is there any chance that you’ll ever take the training wheels off and let us pick our own search engines as default? FWIW, the black bar is still drawn across the URL window upon launch, Windows 8.1 x64.

Don’t know if it’s the same here, but 23rd Stable Opera doesn’t remember dropdown menu choices in password forms. Should it be that way? A bit inconvinient to login with right password into wrong domain (ex: mail.ru).

Alex Parker

Will you ever fix the bug with flash players on various sites? Example – livefetish.net. Player controls are supposed to appear when you hover your mouse over the playing video. Oftenly, they don’t. This bug has persisted for many, many, many months. Maybe its finally time to fix it, no?

Geza

Any chance that you can integrate a text search field, next to search field? Or at least enable such an option. I know about Ctrl+F, but this would be a much better solution.

That would be jumping through some extra hoops for the same feature that exists with two keystrokes.
a Searchbox on the toolbar would make the feature available with one mouseclick, saving time, but having to first click on an extensionbutton in order to open the searchbox negates that timesaving.

It may seem like nitpicking, but if it’s a feature used very often, it adds up.

I really, REALLY, want to be able to place custom search boxes on the toolbar, like in Opera 12. It would save me alot of unnecessary time compared to having to wrestle with the Omnibox (which fails to recognize some URL’s and instead make a Google search for it, which puts the exact same URL as first result and which I cannot edit the search engines in any meaningful way) or having to first click on an extensionbutton in order to open a custom searchbox.

This new 24 version still has the flag plug-in monitor ? Some one see it in flags ?

And could not let us change the timing of the unresponsive plugins ?
I search a lot on the Internet about this timing change and right now nothing found 🙁 But you change the timing so this should be possible, but probably is not in the opera options or settings ?

And this is now fixed: “DNA-24995 [Win] Flash plug-in slowing the computer” ?

Yes it shows on the NR:1 dispaly but this is my secondary display. You tried out to see ? on my 2 displays the menu is show in the secondary display and I use opera in the first display that it is NR.2.
But you need to put your nr1 display up right and your menu will to to the nr.1 display that is for now my secondary display.
What I say is that the menu is not show up in the same window of the Opera I use and the menu will show up in the display that i do not have any opera use there…. strange…
Do you think that opera menu should show in the other display that it is second or first it dose no matter it should show up were opera window it is no ?

DDX777

Developers can make to the downloaded files can be dragged from the download directly to a flash drive or desktop?

And it will be not more better for the plug-in monitor to not show up like a pop-up ?
Or could you make the browser to be not be bind with the flash player so when flash get stuck or slow downs the pc to keep it only for flash so the browser will not get stuck and to make it still work ?
Like if we have 2 browser installed one for flash and the other with no flash this way if the flash stops or has a problem it will just block the browser with the flash this way other browser will have no problem no ?
If you get this what I want….

There is a technical reason. A plug-in can cause the main window to hang. Which is why the warning comes in a separate window. Otherwise, you would not be allowed to force-quit the plug-in and restore Opera’s potentially unresponsive window.

A got it and found it it is beta for now but we have like the old Opera 12.17 that has 64-bit support but probably they will make a new one after Google makes a stable version of the chrome 64-bit browser.
Plus probably it will take them some time to make it in if not after chrome launch the stable version of the 64-bit browser.

Could not opera move the Opera menu to the Right below the X ?
To fix my problem in dual screen and to have the menu used more faster and more easy to ?
Chrome already has the menu below X….
Plus it will save a lot of space for tabs that why they use the menu to the right it is more faster and more better there.
I think ff is using it there to….

Good that some game was not showing the (flash play button) because I could not figure it out why the chat was not working any more.
I was thinking it that it could be a version of chrome engine problem in the past I was having a lot of problems with this chat to load on some the chrome browser…
But now I figure it out that mostly it was a problem probably with flash that was blocking the chat to load.

Yep a lot of sites content breaks with the current way clicktoplay for plugins is working

Embedded youtube videos behave very badly (hard or impossible to use their overlay controls) since a few builds now. Is this a known issue? Only happens for Opera (firefox, chrome, interner explorer behave ok)

I see this issue in Opera 23, but I can not confirm it with this build.

plague

Only Flash based Youtube have this problem.
The html5 version doesn’t, so you could enable that version instead to avoid the problem:https://www.youtube.com/html5

NEWEST Build…STILL issues with a couple specific pages. I had one of our web guys look at it breifly and he says he can see the error as a ‘jquery’ error in Opera when inspecting the elements. Does that have to do with my version of java? is that specific enough to give me some direction on how to address it in this version vs previous version?

Guest

Still getting a crash on specific page(s). I had one of our web guys take a super quick look; he inspected elements and said it was crashing on a ‘jquery.min.’ Is this an issue with my version of Java? How can I address this. It didn’t occur in 23Next builds.

Yup. I’m aware of it. I just don’t know what changed between builds where it’s crashing now and you have to reload the page all the time and 23 where I didn’t have any issues.

I can’t seem to open Facebook Chat Sidebar after this update. Anyone else getting this?

littledoremi

Clearing the cache worked to solve this.

Besides Opera v12 bookmark manager & other Opera v12 things, can you make a download window with all options as in Opera v12 => Run, Save and Cancel, not only Save and Cancel. I want to have an option for open things! When I download a small ZIP or RAR file, I opened it every time, not downloaded it. I don’t need that ZIP or that RAR file on my computer. In new versions of Opera, there is no option for Open button. Why? Chromium? OK, but you could (must :p) put that option in Opera.

ahoj1234

dream on 😀 respectively I got positive feedback like an year or at least half of this year ago that they will (or are going to) work on the download manager (I had even more requests how to improve it than you) and I was told that some of my wills may eventually get true. Time passes and nothing is already implemented beside “resume download”. So just hope that it’s under development and somehow it just take a long time to improve (like well known cause about synchronization).
To be honest deep in my mind is something like they already said that “open” option will not come back but take it just as a rumour from me.

Josip Kozarac

Hm. ‘Cause of that, I think I will change the browser for good (some Firefox based browser). I need “Open” options and if this true what you say, it is big good bye and thank you to Opera for all this years!!!

I have problems with gmail. After a while gmail just stops working and everything I do does not get pushed to the server. I have to close Opera and then I get a message asking if I wanto leave this page. After I run Opera again it works fine for a while again.
